Nose: Deep and inviting, with rich dried fruits, wood smoke, and earthy peat. As it evolves, vanilla emerges alongside a delicate whiff of citrus.

Taste: Full-bodied and comforting. Creamy vanilla mingles seamlessly with soft peat and the richness of dried fruits, creating a warm and welcoming palate.

Finish: Long and beautifully balanced. Sweetness lingers, with cool peppermint, milk chocolate, and a subtle kick of white pepper rounding it off elegantly.

Comment: Truly delightful!
